Roast Beef With Slow-Cooked Tomatoes and Garlic

You might not believe us when we tell you, but you're just 4 ingredients away from a stunning centerpiece roast. We combined an inexpensive piece of beef, tomatoes, garlic, and thyme, stuck it in the oven and poured ourselves a glass of wine. It's recipes like this one—with a decent amount of inactive time—that we love to employ during the busy holiday season. Serve this will a side of smashed potatoes or mashed celery root and a bottle of cabernet.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless rump or rib roast

kosher salt and pepper

1 pint grape tomatoes

1 head garlic, cloves peeled

8 sprigs fresh thyme

3 tablespoons olive oil
